THERE you are today!!! Sleepyhead! How late do the Olympics stay on? :)

The pandas are too cute! They really are. You know, I put the gif in my animated gif program, to see if there was any way I could compress it any further in that program - besides reducing the physical size - but it had already BEEN compressed as much as it could be.

So I looked at it further, and realized that it's actually just ONE panda mom & baby - which is copied and pasted side by side, with one side reversed. So then I cut it in half and did JUST the one mama & baby, and it was still cute, but only reduced the bytes by less than half. (Think the animation with just one mama & baby was 274 MB or something like that)

You really wanted to know all that, didn't you? :)

I do! I appreciate your efforts..I had noticed the pandas were one picture reversed..
I figured out that I could snip an end off in Paint and stop the aimation (which is where all the bytes come from) so I could post the still.

I think the programming stops about 3am and then it takes me an hour to settle down..I am a born nightowl and fight to keep on normal schedule in any case.

I was changing out the hummingbird feeder, filling the bird feeder and leaving seeds on the patio at midnight for the morning visitors.
